Question

A mistaken identity led to a discovery of a new one for the rattrap peddler. How did this impact him?

Answer 1

Value Points:

• Gave him the power to clear his conscience 
• Brought out his latent goodness
• Lent him conviction to become a better human/ a chance at elevating himself from being a thief 
• Allowed him the opportunity to behave in a dignified manner befitting that of a Captain

Answer 2

When the ironmaster realized that he had incorrectly identified the peddler, he asked him to leave at once, but Edla did not want to miss him at the happy Christmas since he was invited by them. Her understanding, compassion and humble behavior had a positive impact on the peddler and helped him to clear his sins and becoming into a better human being.
